Frequently Asked Questions
Can foreigners buy property in Bangkok?
Yes, Thailand has a clear legal framework for foreign buyers. The right structure depends on what type of property you are buying.
Can foreigners buy condominium in Bangkok?
Yes, foreigners may hold freehold title to condominium units in their own name, subject to a statutory foreign ownership quota of up to 49% of the total sellable area within a project.
Can foreigners buy landed property in Bangkok?
Yes, through a registered long-term leasehold recorded at the Land Department, constituting a real property right under Thai law.
The typical structure is an initial 30-year registered term, with contractual extension rights for a further 30+30+30 years. This is not equivalent to renting. The registered interest is transferable, mortgageable, and inheritable.
What is the average rental yield in Bangkok?
Rental yields typically range between 4–8% depending on location and property type.
Is Bangkok a good place to invest in property?
Bangkok offers strong rental demand, infrastructure growth, and relatively low entry prices compared to other major cities.
What taxes apply when buying or owning property in Bangkok?
- Transfer fee: 2% of appraised value, typically split equally between buyer and seller (buyer pays 1%).
- Specific Business Tax: 3.3%, applies if the seller has owned the property for less than 5 years. Replaced by stamp duty (0.5%) after 5 years.
- Land and Building Tax: Approximately 0.02% of appraised value annually for a primary residence — one of the lowest holding costs in Asia.
Income tax on rental income: Thailand taxes rental income for residents (180+ days/year in-country) at progressive rates of 5–35% after deductions. Non-residents are subject to a flat 15% withholding tax on Thai-sourced rental income.
What is the buying process for a condo in Bangkok as a foreigner?
Pay booking fee → sign reservation agreement → sign Sale and Purchase Agreement (SPA, typically within 7–14 days) → remit payments from overseas in foreign currency per SPA schedule (obtain FET form from Thai bank upon each remittance) → register transfer at the Land Department
For completed units, transfer typically occurs 30–90 days after SPA. For off-plan, payments are phased across the construction timeline.
What is the foreign ownership quota for Bangkok condominiums?
Thai law caps foreign freehold ownership at 49% of total sellable area per development. The remaining 51% must be Thai-owned. Always verify remaining foreign quota before committing to a unit.
Can foreigners get a mortgage in Thailand?
Thai banks generally do not offer mortgages to non-residents. Exceptions exist for foreigners with documented income in Thailand. Most international buyers purchase in cash or arrange financing in their home country.
Many of our projects offer structured payment terms. Contact us to find out more.
What is a Foreign Exchange Transaction (FET) form and why do I need one?
A FET form is issued by your Thai bank upon receipt of funds remitted from overseas in foreign currency. It is the critical document proving foreign-origin funds, required for condo title transfer at the Land Department and for repatriation of sale proceeds. Always request it at the point of remittance. It cannot be obtained retroactively.
